Can you believe it's June already? This year seems to be flying by.
I have a few fursuit updates this week. I made a lot of progress this week and I should be able to finish my fursuit by the end of this month (minus pawpads).
First of all, all four paws are done. They just need pawpads. I want to order those on the 14th. Hopefully I'll be able to. If not, I'll order them in July.
The tail is almost finished. I still need to close the opening of the tail. But here's a picture of it.
The inside of the tail is stuffed with a pool noodle with a tapered end and polyfil stuffing. It give its a study base, but is still soft.
Next up, the head is being worked on. After looking it over, I noticed a few things I was unhappy with. One of them happened to be the eyes. They looked too wide. I wanted a calmer expression, so I broke out my clay and paint and fixed the eyelids.
She looks less excited now, which is good. I did't want my fursuit to have a 'stare into your soul' look.
The other thing that bothered me: the ears. The shape looks alright, but the placement seemed off. I removed the ears and I'll be sewing them on again after I add the next.
But for now, here are a few shots of my mask.
Crappy cellphone quality.
But it gives you an idea of how it looks so far! I did a little bit of dry brushing for the first time. It's pretty fun, and I may have to experiment with it more in the future. Right now, there's only some brushing around the eyes and on the nose.
I should have brushed out the back a bit. Oops. It's just a matter of adding on the neck now, though.
And finally, the last thing I've done for my fursuit lately....
I made my duct tape dummy and cut out the back pieces of the bodysuit and the legs. I need to cut out the markings and the arms still.
My sewing machine was taken in for repairs on Thursday. I'm not sure when I'll get it back. But until I do, I wont be able to sew up the body suit. But I'll continue cutting out the pieces. I'll probably do that Tuesday after work. Today and tomorrow, I plan on drawing and getting a few things finished up.
This is all. More updates to come next Sunday.
